Deuteronomy 32:5

5 They have dealt corruptly with him;
they are no longer his children ^abecause they are blemished;
they are ^ba crooked and twisted generation.

Isaiah 65:2-5

2 ^cI spread out my hands all the day
to a rebellious people,
who walk in a way that is not good,
following their own devices;
3 a people who provoke me
to my face continually,
^dsacrificing in gardens
and making offerings on bricks;
4 who sit in tombs,
and spend the night in secret places;
^ewho eat pig’s flesh,
and broth of tainted meat is in their vessels;
5 who say, “Keep to yourself,
do not come near me, for I am too holy for you.”
^fThese are a smoke in my nostrils,
a fire that burns all the day.

Matthew 11:16-17

16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their playmates,

17 “‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’

Luke 7:31-32

31 “To what then shall I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another,

“‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’
